Oh my, what an absolutely awesome read. This is by far one of the best WWII books I have come upon. I came to feel as if I knew Morris and Miriam as my friends. This is my first Rebecca Frankel novel; I will be looking for more. The writing was excellent, the research was stellar. I am a fan of apocalyptic fiction, and this one started out ok; unfortunately, it ended really poorly. I liked the fact that the sisters were isolated. And I actually think there reactions to the end of the world as they know it is probably how a lot of people would react - with a bit a denial and an unreasonable hope that things will get better soon. Lorsqu’Eva comprend qu’elle est enceinte, les arguments qu’elle invoque pour le garder flirtent avec ceux des anti IVG. Le fœtus est un «bébé » et évidemment qu’elle va le garder car « que pourrait elle faire d’autre? » Tobias, Scott (2015-09-13). "Toronto Film Review: 'Into the Forest' ". Variety .

J'entends tellement parler de ce roman, encore plus avec la parution de l'album dessiné, curieuse comme je suis, et le fait que ce soit un Gallmeister, j'avais une grande envie de me faire ma propre opinion. Comme si c’était si simple, comme si ça n’était pas une idée dévastatrice et dangereuse de laisser croire qu’il existe des incestes heureux, inoffensifs, joyeux. Merry semi-pagan, slightly literary, and very commercial Christmas,” our father would always announce on Christmas morning, when, long before the midwinter dawn, Eva and I would team up in the hall outside our parents’ bedroom. Jittery with excitement, we would plead with them to get up, to come downstairs, to hurry, while they yawned, insisted on donning bathrobes, on washing their faces and brushing their teeth, even—if our father was being particularly infuriating—on making coffee. We have also included different variations of this question and answer activity to cater for both Year 1 and Year 2 classes.It is no surprise that the Bielski brothers are mentioned, probably the best known of all the partisans who survived in the forest – by 1943 the brothers had at least 1,200 Jews under their protection. In the near future, two teenage sisters, Nell and Eva, live in a remotely located home with their father in a forest. There is a massive, continent-wide power outage that appears to be part of a region-wide technological collapse. The car battery is drained, so they are left stranded for days. Their father eventually gets the car working and they make it to the nearest town, where they buy supplies including gas from a man named Stan. Eva later attends dance class while her sister meets up with her boyfriend, Eli. [3] Returning home, they see a stranded car and the girls' father offers to help the passengers, but the family move on after they brandish guns. The father says that they will not return to town until the power is restored. Later, while cutting down a tree, he cuts his leg badly with a chainsaw. Knowing he is bleeding to death, he tells the girls to take care of each other and love one another. They bury him where he died in the forest. ALL of that being said, this book has a lot of beautiful writing in it. I just didn't have the energy to read four paragraphs eloquently describing how to can fruit. I guess if a book makes you feel things, there's something to be said- and this book generally makes me angry. I cared enough to finish it, and to want to drift it across the room when I was finished. In the summer of 1942, the Rabinowitz family narrowly escaped the Nazi ghetto in their Polish town by fleeing to the forbidding Bialowieza Forest. They miraculously survived two years in the woods―through brutal winters, Typhus outbreaks, and merciless Nazi raids―until they were liberated by the Red Army in 1944. After the war they trekked across the Alps into Italy where they settled as refugees before eventually immigrating to the United States. Think of fairy tales. There is no single ‘original’ version of an oral fairy tale, only endless permutations which evolve over time and change a little each time someone tells it anew. There is no beginning and no end to a fairy tale. Each tale has endless repetitions, giving birth to endless differences.

C’est un magnifique roman d’apprentissage, un très grand en fait. J’ai aimé, beaucoup beaucoup. Et c’est superbement traduit par Josette Chicheportiche. An excellent choice for serious book clubs that have previously chosen challenging titles like Tatiana de Rosnay’s Sarah’s Key and Irène Némirovsky’s Suite Française." L’écriture simple et juste, les très belles images de la nature et les descriptions puissantes des liens qui unissent ces deux sœurs offrent au lecteur un beau retour vers l’essentiel. Hegland’s debut novel…is beautifully written, moving, and the kind of tale one has to call ‘wise’—a small masterpiece, in fact.”Un roman haletant écrit dans une langue sensuelle. Un chant d’amour, manifeste pour une autre vie. Un coup de cœur ! I liked the book well enough and read the last 75% in one sitting which usually tells me I'm really vested and enjoying it. But a couple of things happened near the end that were disturbing which ruined the book for me. Those parts were NOT in the movie, thank goodness! There was an incestual scene, not graphic, but whaaattt? And the sister develops milk for her nephew and nurses him herself. Why? Just, why?! And HOW?! It didn't make any sense.
